Crushed (2009)
10/10
This is a teeth-puller... literally!
15 February 2010
Okay, let me just start off by saying if you liked movies like Audition (Ôdishon, 1999) or May (2002), then you are most definitely going to love this one.

Yes, this is not a major Hollywood production with millions of dollars in the production, but wow! This movie was thrilling from start till end. It is one of the most disturbing movies I have seen.

The way the movie is shot is phenomenal, the images and the camera angles. The images go from being serene and pure to being disturbing and downright diabolic.

Crushed (or "She's Crushed") will keep you nailed - almost literally - to your chair throughout the entire length. The movie is one big roller-coaster ride, building up suspense and tipping over with great thrills, and often toe-curling scenes.

The characters in the movie are vividly brought to life by an amazing cast. None of which I can recall having seen before. The cast really did a great acting job in this movie. And the set was good as well, very believable. Natalie Dickinson (Tara) and Henrik Norlén (Ray) were perfect in the lead roles.

The gore effects were good, but some quite obviously fake. But that didn't matter, because the whole movie is so well put together that you will look past some fake effects. It has enough blood to keep even gorehounds glued to the screen.

This is one of those movies that will stay with you for a long time. The images are compellingly haunting, bizarre and beautiful at the same time. And the characters are believable and real. A shame that it haven't gotten more attention than it did, because this is most definitely a movie worth watching - a gem in an otherwise flooded genre of thrillers.

Not only is the movie great entertainment, but it also leaves you with some questions. Could this happen for real? Should we trust strangers who come into our lives?

I felt like I had my teeth pulled out and still I was begging for more! Watch this one! You will not be disappointed!
